Course Outcome:
After learning the course, the student will be able:
- To understand the overall vision of the Semantic Web
- To analyze the current technology stack (URIs, XML, RDF/S, OWL)
- To understand how one could use these technologies for building something useful
- To define and test an ontology
- To define schema mappings
- To install and use tools for semantic data management
List of Experiments:
- Create an XML file defining an article in newspaper.
- Create an XML file containing list of students. Also create stylesheet file to display list in an HTML format.
- Create an XML file containing list of students. Using XPath display following information
- Information of a student with ID No : 101
- All the student in the sorted order according to their CGPA
- Create an XForm to collect information from staff member regarding their publications. Details like Year of Publication, National/International, Title, Conference/Journal etc.
- From the above gathered information, using XQuery find out the number of publication in a specific year.
- Demonstrate the use of AJAX.
- Study of XMLSPY tool.
- Create an RSS for the events occurring in your institute.
- Write a program to read the articles in RSS created in above practical.
- Study of RDF (Resource Description Framework)
Design based Problems (DP)/Open Ended Problem:
- Create a system which can use of Web search, web crawlers and web information retrieval.
- Analyze and implement a system with Web graph mining.
- Implement and Subscribe RSS News feeds to get latest news in India.
Major Equipment:
XMLSpy, RSS Feed, RSS Reader.

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Preparation of power-point slides: which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work. The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus can be covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit to GTU.
